Pro-Life Groups Applaud GOP Pledge Against Tax-Funded Abortions, ObamaCare

9/23/2010

 
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- House Republican leaders unveiled their new Pledge to America document today that contains a promise to push for a permanent ban on federal funding of abortions should voters replace the pro-abortion Democrats who currently control Congress with GOP lawmakers.

"We will permanently end taxpayer funding of abortion and codify the Hyde Amendment," thePledge to America promises.

"We will establish a government-wide prohibition on taxpayer funding of abortion and subsidies for insurance coverage that includes abortion, this includes enacting into law what is known as the Hyde Amendment. We will also enact into law conscience protections for health care providers, including doctors, nurses, and hospitals," the draft document says.

The action plan includes a pledge to repeal and replace the recently enacted Obama health care law, which contains taxpayer funding of abortions that pro-life groups had to work overtimeto stop in three states so far.

Senate Defeats Motion to Allow Vote on Disclose Act

9/23/2010

 
The Senate defeated a motion for a second time to end a Republican filibuster and allow a vote on a campaign finance bill pro-life groups opposed. The DISCLOSE Act would place stringent limits on the ability of grassroots groups to communicate to the public about legislation and elections.

Senate Republicans filibustered the legislation and Democrats held a cloture vote in July where they needed 60 votes to be able to stop the filibuster and move towards a vote on the bill itself.

This time around, Senate Democrats failed to find enough votes for cloture on a closer 59-39 margin, just one vote shy of the 60 needed to end debate. Republicans were able to keep their party caucus together as liberals like Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine voted to sustain the filibuster.

Show Me Your Science

9/23/2010

 
Religion New Service reports that detractors of a Missouri abortion consent law are critical because “Pythagorean Greeks, early Christian church fathers . . . and modern ethicists have grappled with the fundamental, ultimately unknowable mystery” of when human life begins, yet the Missouri law requires that women seeking an abortion in the state be told that human life begins at conception. Modern science and distinguished Princeton bioethicist Robert George are on the side the Missouri State Legislature.

A member of President George W. Bush’s Council on Bioethics and co-author ofEmbryo: A Defense of Human Life, Robert George told me five years ago that science had advanced to the point where it would be impossible for abortion-rights advocates to argue accurately that life and humanity do not begin at conception.

Abortion Doulas

9/7/2010

 
Lauren Mitchell struggled to adjust to her new role as a doula. She is one of many trained, as the Greek term literally means, to assist in childbirth. “What you get very used to is this weird mix of tragedy and relief and sex and death — this wild variety of emotions,” she says. “There’s always this interesting mix of remorse and relief.”
 
If that doesn’t sound like a traditional birth experience to you, you’re right. Lauren is anabortion doula, taught to coach mothers not in the birth, but killing of children. She is one of dozens of volunteers with The Doula Project in Manhattan. The group covertly works in two unidentified abortion mills, including one that specializes in late-term abortions.

Columbia Planned Parenthood clinic temporarily halts abortions

9/7/2010

 
Planned Parenthood’s Columbia clinic has temporarily suspended its abortion services due to “scheduling issues,” leaving a St. Louis center as the only functioning abortion clinic in the state.

The Columbia clinic halted its abortion services two weeks ago, said Peter Brownlie, president of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri. Brownlie said he doesn’t expect the stoppage to be “lengthy,” but couldn’t say when Columbia’s abortion services will resume.
